This is an update to, and continuation of, the out-of-print 9th edition of my guidebook WEEKEND ADVENTURES IN SAN FRANCISCO & NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. It consists of short chunks of travel throughout Northern California that you can easily digest. More great weekend adventures await at my BERKELEY AND BEYOND website at www.berkeleyandbeyond.com.

Turkovich Family Wines and Winters Cheese Co. 304 Railroad Ave., (530) 795-3842. Daily 10-5; free tasting. Food & flights also, Thur-Sat 5-9pm. Hidden on a side street, this jewel of a tasting room is rustic and open. Comfy outdoor seating in front is particularly inviting in the often-warm weather here. I was particularly fond of Albarino, an Estate white blend. The Winters Cheese Co. adjoins, dispensing delicious cheeses that are made just for them. The high-efficiency winery located on Buckeye Road is open by appointment.
